    Cat got your tongue? You seem to believe it would be appropriate in this case with the gay flag, so how about the other scenarios?

    Did you not see the post you responded to? It's just above your words.
    My answer sufficiently answered that.

    Since you replied, my opinion is a matter to you.
    Because you understand that Supreme Court has made wrong decision, you are trying to prove that judges are rational and logical people.
    You have failed again.

    Dodge noted. The question is to you about YOUR position on the matter. If it is a Muslim and it is a Star of David on the bus and the if Muslim refuses to drive it and is fired would you object? Yes or no?

    Yes it does, government (big or small) regulates relationship by imposing responsibility on sexual activity between man and woman.

    He is driving. This was a hypothetical situation he was chiming in about.

    Please....

    If it is a symbol of one group and their sexuality, which it seems the Rainbow now is....it's their bedroom coming out into the public.


    Eharmony would be a paid advertsement of a service...quite different actually.

    The government has no business promoting those issues. The left has become as oppressive as the Religious Right that they criticized.

    *shrug* In one way, you are correct. Your assertions do have some significance for me. They are a matter of entertainment.

    ... that's like asking if a baseball fan doesn't want to be discriminated against, why doesn't he just cheer for the same team as everyone else?

    Sometimes you have the right not to act like everyone else and not have society punish you for that difference.

    Correct. There is no tolerance for anyone voicing their beliefs anymore.

    When it's against they gays, I mean.

    Dodge? Did you not read my post? When I post something it's typically my position.

    What are you not comprehending here? That is for the employer to decide. Are you asking me what I would do if I was the employer?

    A person can voice their beliefs against gays, Muslims, Jews, blacks, women, Americans... and other people can voice their beliefs against that person. *shrug*

    You don't have to agree with someone or even like their "kind", to tolerate them.

    A guy said he wouldn't drive the gay bus. He was fired. That one I can accept.

    A pizza joint was asked, and said they wouldn't cater a gay wedding. They were shut down and threatened with death.
    They don't cater any weddings.

    There are numerous cases of people being fired, or forced to apologize, for voicing their beliefs.

    Teachings of tolerance from the left, is always funny.

    Yes, a homophone is a word that sounds like another word, but is spelled differently. We should get rid of those evil homophones, like right and write, night and knights, and loan and lone. We shouldn't be accepting homophonic behavior.

    Wow, even though he wasn't asked to drive that bus, you think it's write to fire this guy, and pretty much ruin his life? I do agree he was foolish, as he should have realized that the oh so tolerant liberals would be looking for their pint of blood.

    I thought you liberals were for the blue collar workers?

    Dodge noted again.

    If it is a Muslim and it is a Star of David on the bus and the if Muslim refuses to drive it and is fired would you object? Yes or no?

    Leftwing politics can be pretty funny, but I wouldn't laugh at death threats. I'd report those criminal actions.

    Denial of service is not the same thing as voicing a belief. Communities have a right to not allow businesses that would divide their community, to operate in their community. We learned the hard way what it costs if you don't set those limits.

    The rainbow is a symbol hijacked by people who do differently in the bedroom. Anytime you see this flag, sticker or banner...the people flying it are announcing their bedroom preferences to you.

    Bringing their bedroom to public view.

    Obviously, you are a social justice warrior. Thru your narrow prism there can only be one position on homosexuals--that all governments and people must conform to: that homosexuality is good and righteous and that it must be an "identity."

    Why then can't a city bus have a giant Confederate Battle Flag on it? That couldn't hurt anyone more than a rainbow motif.

    Why can't a city bus have a giant cross or Jesus or some Saints on it? Surely, a "tolerant" person such as yourself could handle that? Right?

    But of course SJW progressives like yourself only approve of things that are anti-Christian and anti-White.

    If you refuse to do your job, you get fired. That's what would happen to me or you. Why should this guy be any different?

    Why do you cons think people should not have to do their jobs?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Since when is being gay anti-Christian or anti-White? WTF? Good lord, I'm gay and white. My family is Christian. What the hell are you going on about?

    On that we agree.
    That is one of the least funny aspects.​
